Digital Twins

Bridge Design and Reality

A building doesn’t end at construction. A factory doesn’t stop evolving after commissioning. A facility lives, breathes, changes—and the systems that manage it should understand it as deeply as the systems that designed it.

Digital twins close the loop between what was designed and what exists. Between the model and the reality. Between intention and operation.

The Disconnect

Today, design and operations live in separate worlds:

Design phase: Rich 3D models. Detailed specifications. BIM data. Engineering intent captured precisely.

Handover: PDFs. Spreadsheets. Flattened data. Knowledge lost.

Operations: Separate systems. Siloed data. Operators who never saw the design. Maintenance teams working from paper.

The model that took years to create becomes a static archive the moment the building opens.

Meanwhile:

• Sensors generate data no one connects to the design
• Equipment fails without warning
• Energy is wasted because systems don’t understand the space
• Renovations start from scratch because the as-built is wrong

The 3D intelligence that existed in design vanishes at handover.

What We Enable

Living Models

Your digital twin isn’t a frozen snapshot. It’s a living system.

Continuous synchronization:

• Design changes flow to the operational twin
• As-built updates reflect back to the model
• Sensor data streams into spatial context
• The twin evolves with the facility

NATS JetStream at the core. Event-driven architecture that handles:

• Thousands of sensor streams
• Real-time state updates
• Historical playback
• Distributed deployment across sites

Spatial IoT

Sensors without context are just numbers. A temperature reading means nothing until you know where.

Connect IoT to 3D:

• Sensors positioned in the model, not a spreadsheet
• Data visualized in spatial context
• Relationships between systems visible
• “The HVAC serving the east wing” not “sensor ID 47832”

Device management from the design environment:

• Commission sensors against the model
• Monitor status spatially
• Identify coverage gaps visually
• Manage thousands of devices at scale

Predictive Maintenance

React less. Predict more.

AI that understands your facility can anticipate failures:

• Pattern recognition — Anomalies detected before they become failures
• Spatial correlation — Problems in one system affecting another
• Historical learning — Your facility’s specific behavior, not generic models
• Maintenance optimization — Fix things when it’s convenient, not when they break

From breakdown maintenance to predictive. From reactive to proactive.

Energy & Performance

Buildings consume 40% of global energy. Most of it is wasted.

Digital twins that understand space can optimize it:

• HVAC optimization — Conditioning based on actual occupancy and usage
• Lighting intelligence — Daylight harvesting, presence detection, scheduling
• Load balancing — Distribute demand, reduce peaks
• Simulation — Test changes before implementing

Sustainability through spatial intelligence.

What-If Analysis

Before you change the building, change the twin.

• Renovation planning — Model changes, predict impacts
• Capacity analysis — Can this space handle the new use?
• Emergency simulation — Evacuation, fire spread, system failures
• Future-proofing — How will climate change affect this facility in 20 years?

Test scenarios in simulation. Implement with confidence.

Open Standards

Your facility data shouldn’t be locked in a vendor’s platform.

• IFC (ISO 16739) — Full Building Information Modeling semantics. Spaces, systems, relationships, properties. Not just geometry—meaning.
• STEP (ISO 10303) — Precision geometry when you need it.
• Open APIs — Connect to your existing BMS, CMMS, ERP. We integrate, not replace.

Your building. Your data. Your choice of systems.

The Full Lifecycle

Digital twins connect every phase:

Design    →    Construction    →    Handover    →    Operations    →    Renovation
   ↑                                                        │                │
   └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┴────────────────┘
                              Continuous feedback loop

No more information loss at handover. No more starting from scratch. The model that was designed becomes the model that operates becomes the model that improves.
